Becca, ditto here. And my pleasure!
Great collection Kalyn! I love sticking a few things in the slow cooker first thing in the morning 😀 thanks for featuring a couple of my recipes! 🙂
Ed, excellent point! And I certainly didn't mean to ignore the busy dads. (I grew up in a household where the dad never cooked anything; obviously I need to increase my consciousness about that! Thanks for waking me up, I will edit the post.)
And so glad you have been enjoying the site!
I really enjoy your site and am always saving your recipes to make. Thanks for all the good creative hard work.
But twice you write "for busy moms!" I do the cooking in our house 6 days a week and that includes school days. Don't ignore us "busy dads!"
Thanks.
Ed
Karen, same here!
Wow! Thanks for featuring so many of my casseroles 🙂
These all look so yummy to me! My mom would always make casseroles growing up so they remind me of my childhood.
Thanks Lydia, I really hope it will be helpful!
Great collection of recipes, even for those of us who aren't in back-to-school mode. Thanks for including one of my recipes, too.
